The Impact
of IWM

Food waste is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Landfills release methane (CH₄), a gas far more potent than CO₂. Insect Waste Management diverts organic waste from landfills, cutting methane emissions and supporting climate mitigation goals.

As global food demand grows, traditional protein sources strain land and water. Insect Waste Management produces insect protein with far lower resource use than soy or fishmeal, while also generating frass fertiliser — a natural input that boosts soil health and agricultural resilience.

With rising waste disposal costs and tightening landfill regulations, Insect Waste Management gives waste managers a profitable alternative. By converting organic waste into insect meal and biofertiliser, it delivers value with lower energy inputs — and without dependence on energy subsidies.

Waste management methods like anaerobic digestion and pyrolysis require high energy inputs to break down waste. Insect Waste Management offers a low-energy alternative — Black Soldier Fly larvae convert waste into biomass in just days, with minimal external energy required.

Global food waste exceeds 1.3 billion tons per year. Traditional methods like composting and anaerobic digestion are often slow and costly. Insect Waste Management processes organic waste in under two weeks, making Black Soldier Fly bioconversion one of the fastest and most efficient biological waste solutions available.

Insect Waste Management keeps organic waste in circulation by converting it into high-value insect feed and soil inputs — not landfill or incineration. As global policy shifts toward circular systems, IWM and Black Soldier Fly farming offer a scalable, sustainable alternative for waste management worldwide.
